[PATCH v1 0/6] perf cs-etm: Fix tracing packet handling and minor refactoring

[Leo Yan]

Due the current code is missing to handle cs-etm start tracing packet
and CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, we fail to generate branch sample for them.

This patch series is to fix cs-etm tracing packet handling:

Patch 0001 is to add invalid address macro for readable coding;

Patch 0002 is one minor fixing to return error code for instruction
sample failure;

Patches 0003~0006 are fixing patches for start tracing packet
and CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet.

This patch series is applied on acme tree [1] on branch perf/core with
latest commit: e238cf2e3d2e ("perf intel-pt: Fix packet decoding of CYC
packets").  Also applied successfully this patch series on Linus tree
on 4.18-rc1.

This patch series has been verified on Hikey620 platform with below two
commands:
perf script --itrace=i10000il128 -F cpu,event,ip,addr,sym -k ./vmlinux
perf script -F cpu,event,ip,addr,sym -k ./vmlinux
